The landscape is painted in the open air and the girl has been added to the studio as is usual in his paintings of that time.
It is then a symbolist painting which situates figures often invented in a real landscape but transformed by the will of the artist.
Leaving the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, determined to devote himself entirely to his vocation, Roca Sans resumes painting in the open air in a figurative language, going against fashions, with a "revival" intention. Without losing sight of the Nabis and other schools of the late 19th century, he established a testimony in the Empordà region of a respectful world towards ecology that is disappearing under urban pressure. Several books cover this period from 1974 to 1983 which prefigures his style known later as "synthetic - expressionist" and which will define all his production entirely inscribed in Postmodernity.
